You cannot guarantee it will always be there.
That's true, but I wasn't at the point to deal with this, yet :-)
so I created this device configuration for the Storage Daemon:
It's better and safer to mount by UUID or Volume label.
How do I do this? I'm a bit confused because the documentation does not seem
to be up to the code and it mainly refers to DVDs, which have to be treated
differently than removable hard drives.
I know that I can use fstab-sync to automatically mount any partition on a
hot-plug device to a unique mount point, but how does this integrate with
Bacula?
It doesn't. At least, not by using the directives meant for DVD writing.
There was some detailed mail exchange in bacula-users some time ago
analyzing and finally explaining how to use (multiple) external hard
disks as storage device. DVD writing is completely different and
requires some external script to actually transfer data from Bacula to
disk. The former is what you should try to find in the archive - search
for mail from Barry L Bond - the latter would require you to modify the
dvd-handler.pl script to write to a hard disk, not a DVD.
